CREAM-WHIPPING acrame.

consin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cream-Whipping Machines, of

which the following is a specification.

The objects of my invention are ,to pro vide a machine in which cold air and cold water are employed in the whip ing of the cream to faci itate and improve t 6 process. It consists In certain novel features ofconstruction and in the peculiar arrangement and combination of parts, as hereinafter particularly described, andpointed out in the claims. i a

In the accompanying drawings like'letters designate the same parts in the several figures. 1

Figure 1 is a cross-section of the entire machine, showing cream-hopper, ice and water box, and um s and lpes for circulation of 1g. 2 1s a cross-section water an col air. of the cream-hopper along line 2 2. Fig. Sis

an enlarged view of the cream-hopper with certain parts broken away, showing partitions between double wallof hopper-jacket;

the partitions being so disposed as to create currents, as per arrow-line, from water-supr ply pipe around hopper-jacket and out of drain-pipe. i

A is a Watert1ght box designed for holding water and ice.

f B is a hopper desi ned for holdin cream, h op er being provided with doubfis walls, at scribed,) between which water, reduced in temperature by means of ice and salt, circulates'in the manner hereinafter described.

Hopper B is provided with reel H, which re. volves inside of cream-space in hopper, said reel H bein the means for whipping the cream place in the hopper C is a ipe which supplies the hopperjacket with cold water drawn from box or tank A in the manner hereinafter described by means of plunger-pump F;

D is a pipe which drains cold water from hopper-jacket after the water has circulated about chamber between double walls of hopper-and carries the water back into box or tank A. (Pipe C and Dean enter and leave hopper-jacket either at ends, as shown in Fig. 1, or at sides, as shown in Fig. 3,-latter method being referred.)

G is a dou 1e-action air-pump used for speeification'ofzLet ters r te. V f

described, and which is provided with stop:

' of bottomof creammhambrfthis termination of pipe being provided ,with graduated holes by means 0 which theair is emitted into cream-ohamhen. {The other. part E continues (either outsidepf hop er jacket orbetween'thewallgs of hop erflacket) and ter-' minates at endpf ree -shaft R, air being emitted at. that ointintoj hollow shaft R an isfthen emitte 'f romuliollow shaft R, into cream chamber by means of graduatedholes oint at which. f'" connects Wit .R-and argest hole being near 0 posite end of shaft.

The object of these ra uations in shaft R.

cream-chamber, stop-cock S- being provided is a plunger-pump which carries cold water from box or tank A through ipe G into the hopperjacket, where it circu ates in the manner described by the arrow-lines in Fig. 3 and then flows back into box A through pipe I). Box A is provided with a lid w ich renders box A air-tight.

Inside of hopper B in the cream-chamber is reel H, Figs. 1 and 2. This reel consists of two metal or wooden disks sus ended on shaft R in the manner shownin 1g. 1. Between th se disks are strun I-metal wires, said win.s not being dispose radially, but at a slight angle, as shown in Fig. 2, wires being disposed in sets of four or more. Reel H is revolved by means of pulley or gear wheels nearest 9 1 and pipe wis to equalize emission ofair into IIO,

connected with power-shaft P. Powershaft P operates also plunger-pump F and air-pump G.

Cream-hop er is provided with a lid K,

5 which secure y closes same, lid K being provided with hole h, which permits the esca e fromthe chamber, of air pumped into tile chamberjn the manner described.

' Jacket of hopper B is .provided with don'- :o ble walls. Between the inside and outside walls are disposed partitions .or bafiie-walls M, N, and 0, Fig. 3, M and being disposed at the two ends of hopper-'acket, asshown in Fig. 3, and Nat its middle. N is rovided r with hole t. These p'artitions or -ba e-walls compel circulation of water, as described by arrow-lines a, namely: Water enters. at C and is driven downward between the double" wall of hopper to the opposite side of hopper between partitions or afile-walls M and N. On the opposite side of the tank it rises and is allowed to flow into other half of hopperjacket through .qhole "t. Having passed through t, water descends and rises, being 2 5 confined by walls -N and O, and-is emittedat D. j Constant circulation is provided in;this manner.

Hop )er-jacket is rovided with four small caps isposed at f dur corners of" hopper,

go which cover holes in hopper-jacket or water chamberjthrough which salt and ice chips can be put into water-space through h0ppe1ijacket, if desired, to hasten process of temperature reduction. I

3 5 'fihe operation of the machine is substantia y power-shaftis turned or power is applied to the shaft, the reel in cream-chamber of hop per revolves and the air-pump G and the wa- 40 terpump F operate, action of the three --parts being simultaneous. Water-pump F pumps water, reduced in temperature by virtue of the ice (or salt, if desired) mixed with it, from box A throu h pipe' C into hopperjacket. Water oircu ates in hopper-jacket around cream-chamber by means of the force applied to' it by the pump and flows back into boxA through pipelD, thus causing as follows: When crank at end of constant circulation of water while power is' being applied. Air-pump G pumps air into 5o coil E. Air passing throu h coil 1 is'cooled. I by means-of the contac t.o coilwitlr-ice and, water in box A, is emitted at X, (being' stilllfurther cooled by bubbling through theice water in box A,) and is carried by meansfof ipe E into'the cream-chamber-iin hopperg lere by virtue of' the whipping ofthe cream; caused by the revolution of the 'rc;- I the'air is mixed with the cream. '.l he.p'rocess is the cream. p I claim and desire to'secure by'diet-tersos Patent I c 1. In a machine for'whipping cream the combination of a hopperfor holding the cream, provided with a reel for whippingth'c cream and double walls (constituting water? 7'0 chamber about cream chaniber) and bafilefwalls for compelling circulation of cold water about wate'r-chamber, and air-pipesifor car,

rying air into the creaincha nber, and an airtight box or tank n wh ch air andwater are cooled by means of ice and salt, together with air and water pumps for causing cirfzulation of an and watcr'reduced 1n tempera ture in the ice box, substantially as I de-' scribed. I a I 2. In a cream-whippingmachine thecombination, on acommon.power-shaft, of a reel for whipping cream, a water-pumppi'ovi'ded with a system of pipes 'for umping waterinto a water or cooling chain i'e lr around creamchamber and an a1rpun'1p'prov1ded with a'- system of pi es for injcr itin cold air into the cream-chamber,substantia ly as described". In witness whereof Ihave signed my name to this specification, in the. presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 31st day of 'lilay,
